Phineas Camp Headley was an American Presbyterian clergyman. He also was writer of popular biographies.
Background
Phineas Camp Headley was born on June 24, 1819, in Walton, New York, United States, the son of Rev. Isaac and Irene (Benedict) Headley. The former was pastor of the Congregational church of Walton, New York, from 1813 to 1829. His older brother, Joel Tyler Headley, also became widely known as a writer.
Education
Phineas had rather limited educational opportunities, but when he was twenty-eight years old, having studied for a time in the law office of Hon. Walter Hubbell of Auburn, New York, he was admitted to the bar. Yielding to his mother’s wishes, and to certain religious proclivities of his own, he soon turned to the ministry and entered Auburn Theological Seminary, from which he graduated in 1850. Amherst College conferred the degree of A. M. upon him in 1859.
Career
The year of his graduation from Auburn Phineas Headley took charge of the Presbyterian church in Adams, New York, where in 1851 he was ordained by the Watertown Presbytery. He left Adams in 1854, and his subsequent pastorates were in West Sandwich, Massachusetts, 1834-1857; Greenfield, Massachusetts, 1857-1861; and Plymouth, Massachusetts, 1861.
From the beginning of his ministry Headley gave much time to writing. After 1861 he devoted himself for many years almost wholly to this work, residing in Boston until 1894, and thereafter in Lexington, Massachusetts. A number of his books were written for boys, both to give them information and to inspire them to noble deeds.
Headley was a wide reader but in no sense a critical scholar. Using easily available material, he wrote in a clear, facile, and sometimes picturesque style. His first published work was Historical and Descriptive Sketches of the Women of the Bible (1850). His Young Folks’ Heroes of the Rebellion series includes lives of Generals Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, and Mitchel, and of Admiral Farragut and John Ericsson. Among his other publications were Massachusetts in the Rebellion (1866), The Inland of Fire; or a Thousand Years of the Old Northmen’s Home (1875), and Public Men of Today (1882).
